Probably only if their immune systems were compromised.

Not unlike the medical profession, one has to assume " universal precautions " as

if everyone were to carry an immuno compromised state, in schools, etc.

No one knows if the kid in the sandbox has cancer or leukemia or HIV/AÏDS. They

are in the public domain or even in the back yard. A " supersize " dose of toxins

can " compromise " an otherwise healthy person. The toxins can cause the system

to be compromised. I was " otherwise healthy " until I got a " supersized " dose of

Aspergillus Fumigatus.

They say it is the " dose " that makes the poison, but it would also seem that

everyone's system has its' own " thresh-hold " that it can tolerate, without

immune system decline.
